Le Voyage Magnifique

The Vast Array

I am thankful for every day
savoring Mother Nature's buffet:
a walk in meadow where daisies grow
and chat with talkative crow,
no matter whether sky be blue or gray.

When my imagination starts to play
and chase the melancholy away,
then I pray to God and let Him know
I am thankful.

So many ways to convey
the vast emotional array:
a warm smile to go with "Hello!"
a friendly hug will make my heart glow--
so many reasons I can say
I am thankful.
